the wire must of run out of electrons! ;)

I did this recently as well for the exact same reason, took me about an hour and $50 and my van has never turned over so quickly and started so easily.

now about that bigger engine .... i'm making moves to jump to a 2.5 subaru, so I'll soon have a rebuilt turnkey 2.1 liter(minus the ecu/harness) available with a tencentlife external oil cooler for sale. Less than 10,000 miles on engine. more details when I actually have it removed and ready to sell.

I'll post it in the classifieds once I actually have it out of the van, i anticipate this will be available in the next 2 months.

peace, -Ry http://www.google.com/profiles/rylincoln
